Default Grips

My grips are messed up due to Canyon Dancers.

Ebay good for grips? How easy are they to replace?

Grips are cheap enough you can pick them up at a dealer for $15. Don't waste your time buying grips on ebay. Installation is easy once you get the bar ends off. Breaking the loktite is very hard. Usually heating them up with a blow dryer helps. If you don't use a big enough screw driver and lots of force you can mess up the screw head very easily. I'd replace them with allen bolts if it was me.

Driven or Renthal grips for the win. The medium compound ones are nice. Since you like black, go driven.

I use Buell Traction grips now...but I used to run Pro-Grip gel deals. Super easy to get on and off with an air compressor.

I like the Renthals too because the diameter is real small. I wear gloves all the time though.

driven is pretty much the same thing, except they are black instead of grey.
